On a sad note, my BIL's wife's Uncle passed away yesterday while shoveling snow in his driveway. BIL's college roommate from 5 years ago also passed away suddenly yesterday. MIL called to tell me. I was thinking about sending a sympathy card to BIL. Any reason I shouldn't? I don't think so, as it is something I would typically do anyway. But thought I should check with you all first.
I don't see anything wrong with this if this is something you would have done in the past.
Good deal that you get to spend a late Christmas with your family.
